IGA012 – A Peek At Aging From the Generation-X Perspective

Posted on by

Summary:

Where do we learn how to age? Sounds like a strange question, but it is a valid one. We are all learning how to age whether we know it or not. Lee begins to explore this by reaching out to younger people to see how they feel about various aspects of aging. For this week's episode, Lee engages 40 year old Ed Lazzari to get a peek into how this age group views aging for both themselves and their parents. The conversation gave Lee a few eye-openers that he didn't expect. See what your reactions are.

Retirement is a strange beast and is different for different people. This episode exposes the thinking of two retired men to see how their thoughts about retirement have changed after being retired for a few years.

They touch such topics as retirement fears, the leisure time myth, the role of passion, and individual value systems.

“Retirement provides an opportunity to connect to a larger world, to find an inner self that couldn’t get out before, and find an outlet for who you truly are.”Lee Mowatt

IGA006: Spirituality & Aging. Does Aging Connect Us To Our Soul?

Posted on by

Summary:

For this episode, Lee chats with Arthur Reublinger, who has been a hospice chaplain for many years. He could easily be considered to be a "Silver Inspiration" if he could just slow down enough in his life to even find out what that is. Now we can hear some of you roll your eyes already. But for those of you more introspective, just wait till you hear what this conversation contains.

They start off their discussion in the area of hospice care. (Lee: "I should actually do an entire episode on that topic because, as I discover, there is much more to learn there.") But the breadth of questions that follow in this discussion go well beyond that initial topic. This episode is sure to keep the interest of anyone who has ever wondered what they should believe.
